mysql vs built-in

[Renkon]

Why do people prefer using mysql resource than built-in functions?

At least, in my case, I use built in functions, yet I don't realize why people prefer using some other functions. Mind telling me?

Probably they have a website and they need to query data from the server's database. If people don't do that nor they're going to make use of the server's database, I guess using built-in functions will be better and faster.

Built-In functions can be PERFECTLY used for extern databases

I think Anderl is talking about SQLite, if you don't need to use it outside the server, then it's faster as far as I know.

Yes, that's what I was talking about.

I am talking about mysql resource functions and built-in functions.

maybe you did not get it.

I personally use the MTA-built in MySQL functions, they are somehow easier to use.

Well what I found out after reading many issues in this forum is that the 90% of the people scripting use exports.mysql (from the mysql resource)
